SUMMER

Angkar: Wet season. Precipitation is common during the late afternoon and evening hours. Vegetation grows significantly during the summer, but flooding is a danger due to the monsoons that ravage the country. The rainforest sees evenly distributed rainfall throughout the season.

Ashoka: Desert: Extremely hot and dry. Violent, heavy downpours following long dryspells. Jungle: Hot and humid with frequent, violent rainstorms.

Morrim: Relatively hot and dry, but with a chance of thunderstorms from time to time. The heat may cause forest fires.

Soto: Hot and humid, tree cover is dense while ground growth is restricted. Thunderstorms see the most amount of rainfall during the season, and it can be very windy. On occasion, there are flash floods that can destroy homes and farms built on flood plains.

WHAT IS ELENLOND?

Elenlond is an original free-form medieval fantasy RPG set on the continent of Soare and the Scattered Isles, which are located to the south in the Sea of Diverging Waters. The four chief nations of the western side of the world—Ashoka in northern Soare, Soto in western Soare, Morrim in eastern Soare, and Angkar, the largest of the Scattered Isles—continue to experience growth and prosperity since the fall of the Mianorite gods, although power struggles within the countries—or outside of them—continue to ensue.

  • CURRENT EVENTS

    Angkar: To honour the reinvigoration of the ancient city of Mondrágon, the majestic Queen Eulalia has permitted the opening of a Coliseum where people from around the world and all walks of life can test their combat skills against one another. Many have already done battle in search of honour, glory, prizes and money.

    Ashoka: In an otherwise peaceful times, Ashokans are beset with the relatively minor inconveniences of wandering undead and occasionally-aggressive giant rock worms. There has also been some controversy over the recent re-legalisation of human sacrifice.

    Morrim: Rumour has it that Emperor Leofric de Hollemark is mustering forces for a war. Though the threat from Soto’s forests has passed, the forces previously employed in watching the forest now linger at the border. Rumours also circulate of a small group that has been dispatched to make contact with the tribes of the Do’suul Mountains.

    Soto: The Sotoans have defeated the fey and liberated themselves from Méadaigh’s oppression! Preliminary efforts have been made at rebuilding the city of Madrid, which had been captured at the beginning of the war. However, the Sotoans are hindered from recovery famine. Méadaigh’s magic caused summer to persist in the Erth’netora Forest through the winter. Her power has been withdrawn and the plants die as if preparing for winter – even though it is now summer. The Sotoans must sustain off what food they can get, what creatures they can kill and what can be imported into the city from Morrim and Angkar.

    Hello there,
    Well I'm a new person to the board. Just thought a good start would be to introduce myself.

    My real name is Patrick, but Ruari might as well be my second name, I've been using it in rp for around 7 years or so. I've written on rp boards for around 9 years I guess, but I havn't really been active in any one board since leaving my last one after I graduated high school. College kind of got in the way. I've had the urge to start creatively writing again though, and have been looking around for a good rp fit for me. This looks to be one of the best ones I've managed to find, and I hope I'll be here for a long time.

    But as I said, I have not really written on one of these for a couple of years. I'm not really sure where to get started, so any help would be appreciated in getting the ball rolling for Ruari.

    Thanks, and great to be here!
    -Patrick

    And then she was gone, her hips swinging as the knives jostled her thighs, passing by guards with her head held high, a haughty smile upon her lips.

    Welcome to Elly~ =D

    You'll do just fine here, I'm sure. Many people here have either drifted away from Rping for a while, or taken extended absences and returned to brush up on their writing and whatnot, so the skill levels vary and everyone is super accepting, and super friendly (if that has not already become apparent, it will shortly XD).

    As you've already figured out, I'm one of the resident admins, so if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to drop me a line. =)

    Also, check out this thread for plot information (there are other links posted around, too). =) If you don't PM/contact me, I'll assume you want to hang in the outsider group, who may post in any forum but Morrim.

    Haha, well thank you. It's just a cropped image of the picture I used for the character, but it is one of my favorite drawings I've ever found.

    How would you suggest getting started?

    Hmmm let me think, when i came back form my long break, i redid my character and totally changed how i would be rping~
    I didnt have any plans for her, but they came as soon as i threw myself into the plot.

    Since your character is from soto, make a nice meet and greet topic or battle topic (since i find those method's great ways to get to know your character)
    or, have a nice look around the plot of Morrim and try to place youself somewhere and weave a story~

    ^_^

    Oh yes, I am pretty much reinventing the character. I've never done a werewolf before, but it's always been a role that has been attractive to me. So I'm eagerly looking forward to developing him.

    Do those kind of open threads tend to work here? I'm only asking because I've been to a few boards where you can post something as a new person and just get totally ignored or blown off.

    not here, everyone is very welcoming, i have yet to see or experience people being blown off for being new. if anything we are post hungry and like to break the newletts in ^_~
    but if all else fails, make a post in the reuest a thread, just because some one tied up today does not mean they will be tied up tommorow, and those of us who are post hungry check the request-a-thread often.

    however i do not really create or respond often to open threads. sometimes the light meet and greet can go dead very quickly, no i like the world of pms where you work out a little of the story line. that can be just as exciting.

    Its totally up to you how you want to take a bite out of this, but i would say to avoid the feeling of being lost or 'useless character' syndrome, find a storyline. nothing developes a character quicker imo~

    Howdy!

    Welcome to the lovely friendly... Place type thing... That is Elly!

    I am AD, and play a few characters... Primarily this one, Sophia who is currently leading a revolution/ rebellion type thing in Morrim (not that I am suggesting anything... :P). And much like Pai, I am usually up for an RP.

    Have fun and be awesome.

    Well thank you everyone. I feel a little bad, I've been hopping from task to task, I didn't even notice I had more people welcoming me. Thank you. I look forward to getting to rp with you all in the future.

    Mm, and here's one more welcome for you to miss:

    Hullo. They call me Teh Woffle, but I go by various things... It's uncommon to see someone referring to me, so ...I'm... almost not entirely sure what they're calling me these days XD

    You are indeed correct, Sir. This is one of the best RPGs available online right now. The staff is efficient and will always be genuinely concerned with what is happening, and will always have the answers to questions. At least one of them is always watching the site carefully, so mistakes and issues are handled sometimes too fast to even catch. They definitely have it down. On top of that, we have a lot of experienced, plot-oriented people with some really original ideas, and most of us, if not all, are supremely easy to get along with. Before I found Elly, I'd been searching every day for close to a year and a half to find a decent game. Since then, I've been able to develop my character beyond what I have ever been able to do before, with anyone.

    So, right, back to who the hell I am. I was one of the main plot-pushers for the last story arch which just ended, which involved Andromalius as the big evil bad dude. All the tools you need to catch up on where we are are here in the forum in easy locations, ask a mod for more. Even I wouldn't mind filling you in if you wanna have a chat via and instant messenger.

    I'm also usually up for playing. Motivational problems only occur when there's nothing going on in a thread, which is fixable. I... don't think you'd like to meet Andi, himself, right off the bat (but don't get me wrong, I'm not against it), however, I do have an untouched elf that needs some breaking in somewhere in Soto... She's been patiently waiting for the right time to enter.

    If you're interested, pm me with alternate ways of contact so we can brainstorm.

    Well thank you. I think I'm beginning to get a slight grasp of recent events with the great amount of help.

    I look forward to being able to also develop a character in as great of depth. Maybe when I've got a more solid grip on who he actually is, he can be able to survive an encounter with Andi.

    >P Formerly a tiger cub, presently a tabby. *pets Andi* He's perdy stuffs, is what he is.

    I suppoooose I can introduce me- I am Yori, I'm one of the admins. I do approvals of profiles (as you know) and of abilities (as you will know), general thread monitoring, updating of the Compendium (which I haven't done in awhile... >.>;), banhammering, and occasionally serve as the protector of eyes. =3 And minds, but I have more of a habit of destroying them than defending them much. If you knew... haha.

    Hai. I'm Val. I'm the resident lurker. =D

    I'm also drowning in finals season (I have two tomorrow, alas) so I doubt you'll see me much until Thursday. But, once finals are done, I do have Liron (who's a Soto freak) so if you do need a thread, I could possibly offer one. =)

    Anyway, happy roleplaying! Elly is awesomesauce. <3

    <---feels silly for the slip up.
    Assumed it was just a nickname for your character. Haha.

    And I think it might be a little hard for one to destroy my mind on a forum.....not to test fate.These eyes have seen manyyy disturbing things.

    And hello Val. Sorry to hear about finals. I was lucky enough to have only one this past semester. Although that came at the cost of two final projects and several other research papers.

    I suppose that means it is my turn. I'm Sphynx, which is also the name of my main character, the sexy, seductress and...necromancer. Yes, those two go together quite well, at least in her case. I myself am only half of those things, and I’ll just let you guess which ones. XP I am another one of our fabulous mods, so here’s another person to go to for any questions! But in case it hasn’t been said yet, all of our members are pretty rockstar, so feel free to ask pretty much anyone stuff. Well I’m out of ideas to ramble on about, so welcome to Elly!
